Special Interests: seed storage protein biology; gene technology for plant improvement; enhancing the nutritional quality of plant proteins for food and feed uses; protecting plants from insect damage; science communication and technology transfer to developing countries.
My goal is to develop methods for the genetic engineering of cowpeas so that, in the first instance, they can be protected against certain damaging insect pests. Further enhancements can then be contemplated.
